Who invented radiation oncology?
Radiation oncology arose as our understanding of radiation and its effects on the body improved and was coupled with a greater knowledge of cancer and how it could be treated. As x-rays were discovered in the late 19th century, the history of this branch of medicine is long. It would be unfair and inaccurate to ascribe to a single individual the invention of radiation oncology.
How long does it take to remove the organs of a mummy?
40 days
What the 5 step of mummification?
Mummification shortened into five steps would be the following. Remove and dry, and jar the internal organs, rinse the body in wine, dry it with salt, wrap the body and place in the sarcophagus.
What use is alpha radiation?
It is used in smoke detectors as it cannot travel far in air. Alpha radiation is emitted and as long as the detector in the device is receiving the alpha radiation, then no smoke is present. When smoke particles are present, they interrupt the radiation, and so the detector doesn't pick up the radiation, causing the alarm to go off.
How was The body of the ancient Egyptians prepared?
Mummification was a common practice for the wealthy citizens in Ancient Egypt. Mummification involved two steps; embalming and wrapping. The embalmers would first wash the body with palm wine and rinse it with water from the Nile. Then the internal organs would be removed through a cut on the left side of the body. The brain was then removed as well with a long hook. The body was then covered and stuffed with natron to dry it. After forty days the body was washed again and rubbed with oils. The dried organs were then wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body was also stuffed with sawdust and other materials. The last step was to wrap the entire body in fine strips of linen.
What are the harmful effects of gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation can damage cells and DNA, leading to potential health risks such as cancer, radiation sickness, and cell mutations. Excessive exposure to gamma radiation can have severe consequences on the body's tissues and organs, potentially causing acute and long-term health problems.
How does long wavelength radiation contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Long wavelength radiation, such as infrared radiation, is emitted by Earth's surface after absorbing solar radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap this long wavelength radiation, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. This process helps regulate Earth's temperature by keeping the planet warm enough to support life.
How long does a human have to live if they encounter just over a thousand rads of radiation?
Exposure to over a thousand rads of radiation would likely be fatal within a matter of hours to days due to acute radiation sickness, which can have severe effects on the body's cells and organs. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to try to mitigate the effects of such a high level of radiation exposure.
What is a long 22-feet coiled organs in the body?
small intestine
What is the heating effect of a medium that is transparent to the short wave length radiation of sunlight but opaque to the long wave terrestrial radiation?
ultraviolet rays
Why is radiation lethal?
Radiation ionizes atoms, breaking their bonds and altering biological chemistry. It can also change the nucleus by activation involving neutrons. In sufficient amounts, the body is unable to compensate, and that radiation can be lethal.
What is absorbed to cause the greenhouse effect?
Long-wave infrared radiation from clouds and the warm surface of the earth.
What radiation type has the greatest ability to penetrate human tissue?
Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating, beta radiation penetrates and lasts longer than alpha but also "dies out" relatively quickly, but Gamma radiation will not only penetrate deep, but it will also stay long.
Does radiation accumulate over time?
No, radiation exposure does not accumulate in the body over time. Each exposure is independent, and the body eliminates any radiation that it doesn't absorb. However, long-term or repeated exposure to radiation can increase the risk of health effects over time.
What has the author W D Collins written?
W. D. Collins has written: '\\' -- subject(s): Long wave radiation, Sky radiation, Estimates, Greenhouse effect
Which on of the following is a long term effect of alcohol on the body?
Cirrhosis
Does having your gallbladder out effect anything else?
It may effect different organs but for a day or so. Not to long. If you DO have pain you should she a doctor or go to the hospital for serous pain.
